1926. Tom Sherbourne is a young lighthouse keeper on a remote island off Western Australia. The only inhabitants of Janus Rock, he and his wife Isabel live a quiet life, cocooned from the rest of the world.

Only years later do they discover the devastating consequences of the decision they made that day – as the baby’s real story unfolds . . .
